Former Trump administration staffer Camryn Kinsey fainted while appearing live on Fox News Thursday night to criticize former President Biden’s recent appearance on “The View,” as well as former VP Kamala Harris and the Democratic party.
“It’s not about, uh, ideology, or, uh, it’s not about, uh,” she confusedly said before going blank and collapsing to the floor.

Stunned Fox News host Jonathan Hunt considered turning his focus to another guest, then instead said he’d cut to a commercial break.
When programming resumed, Hunt assured viewers Kinsey was “up and moving” and that everyone was hoping for the best.
Fox News later told Variety the station’s woozy guest was treated by medics in Los Angeles and cleared for release.
In a tweet early Friday afternoon, Kinsey thanked Fox News and the EMTs who treated her.
“Wow, sorry for the scare last night,” she wrote. “It was an unexpected and frightening moment, but thanks to their professionalism and kindness, I’m doing well.”
“I’m taking it slow, staying hydrated, letting my body rest, and thanking the Lord that everything is OK,” she added, without offering additional details on what may have caused her to faint. “It may not have been how I planned to end the segment, but I’ll be back on your TV soon.”
According to her LinkedIn profile, Kinsey served as the White House external relations director from August 2020 to January 2021. She then spent 16 months working for the far right-wing One America News outlet before becoming a media consultant and pundit. She has also appeared on Alex Jones’ “Infowars” program.
